.. _screen: Screen ====== A screen is an object representing the context-independent part of a device. Flags and enumerations ---------------------- XXX some of these don't belong in this section. .. _pipe_cap: PIPE_CAP_* ^^^^^^^^^^ Capability queries return information about the features and limits of the driver/GPU. For floating-point values, use :ref:`get_paramf`, and for boolean or integer values, use :ref:`get_param`.

If 0, then the first rendertarget's blend mask is replicated across all MRTs. * ``PIPE_CAP_INDEP_BLEND_FUNC``: Whether per-rendertarget blend functions are available. If 0, then the first rendertarget's blend functions affect all MRTs. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_ARRAY_LAYERS``: The maximum number of texture array layers supported.

That is, is the pipe_rasterizer_state::clamp_fragment_color flag supported by the driver? If not, the state tracker will insert clamping code into the fragment shaders when needed. * ``PIPE_CAP_MIXED_COLORBUFFER_FORMATS``: Whether mixed colorbuffer formats are supported, e.g. RGBA8 and RGBA32F as the first and second colorbuffer, resp. * ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_COLOR_UNCLAMPED``: Whether the driver is capable of outputting unclamped vertex colors from a vertex shader. If unsupported, the vertex colors are always clamped. This is the default for DX9 hardware. * ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_COLOR_CLAMPED``: Whether the driver is capable of clamping vertex colors when they come out of a vertex shader, as specified by the pipe_rasterizer_state::clamp_vertex_color flag. If unsupported, the vertex colors are never clamped. This is the default for DX10 hardware. If both clamped and unclamped CAPs are supported, the clamping can be controlled through pipe_rasterizer_state. If the driver cannot do vertex color clamping, the state tracker may insert clamping code into the vertex shader. * ``PIPE_CAP_GLSL_FEATURE_LEVEL``: Whether the driver supports features equivalent to a specific GLSL version. E.g. for GLSL 1.3, report 130. * ``PIPE_CAP_QUADS_FOLLOW_PROVOKING_VERTEX_CONVENTION``: Whether quads adhere to the flatshade_first setting in ``pipe_rasterizer_state``. * ``PIPE_CAP_USER_VERTEX_BUFFERS``: Whether the driver supports user vertex buffers. If not, the state tracker must upload all data which is not in hw resources. If user-space buffers are supported, the driver must also still accept HW resource buffers. * ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_BUFFER_OFFSET_4BYTE_ALIGNED_ONLY``: This CAP describes a hw limitation. If true, pipe_vertex_buffer::buffer_offset must always be aligned to 4. If false, there are no restrictions on the offset. * ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_BUFFER_STRIDE_4BYTE_ALIGNED_ONLY``: This CAP describes a hw limitation. If true, pipe_vertex_buffer::stride must always be aligned to 4. If false, there are no restrictions on the stride. * ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_ELEMENT_SRC_OFFSET_4BYTE_ALIGNED_ONLY``: This CAP describes a hw limitation.

In other words, the pointer returned by transfer_map is always aligned to this value. * ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_BUFFER_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT``: Describes the required alignment for pipe_sampler_view::u.buf.offset, in bytes. If a driver does not support offset/size, it should return 0. * ``PIPE_CAP_BUFFER_SAMPLER_VIEW_RGBA_ONLY``: Whether the driver only supports R, RG, RGB and RGBA formats for PIPE_BUFFER sampler views. When this is the case it should be assumed that the swizzle parameters in the sampler view have no effect. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_TEXCOORD``: This CAP describes a hw limitation. If true, the hardware cannot replace arbitrary shader inputs with sprite coordinates and hence the inputs that are desired to be replaceable must be declared with TGSI_SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD instead of TGSI_SEMANTIC_GENERIC. The rasterizer's sprite_coord_enable state therefore also applies to the TEXCOORD semantic. Also, TGSI_SEMANTIC_PCOORD becomes available, which labels a fragment shader input that will always be replaced with sprite coordinates. * ``PIPE_CAP_PREFER_BLIT_BASED_TEXTURE_TRANSFER``: Whether it is preferable to use a blit to implement a texture transfer which needs format conversions and swizzling in state trackers. Generally, all hardware drivers with dedicated memory should return 1 and all software rasterizers should return 0. * ``PIPE_CAP_QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTICS``: Whether PIPE_QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTICS is supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR_QUIRK``: Bitmask indicating whether special considerations have to be given to the interaction between the border color in the sampler object and the sampler view used with it. If PIPE_QUIRK_TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR_SWIZZLE_R600 is set, the border color may be affected in undefined ways for any kind of permutational swizzle (any swizzle XYZW where X/Y/Z/W are not ZERO, ONE, or R/G/B/A respectively) in the sampler view. If PIPE_QUIRK_TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR_SWIZZLE_NV50 is set, the border color state should be swizzled manually according to the swizzle in the sampler view it is intended to be used with, or herein undefined results may occur for permutational swizzles. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_BUFFER_SIZE``: The maximum accessible size with a buffer sampler view, in texels. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_VIEWPORTS``: The maximum number of viewports (and scissors since they are linked) a driver can support.

Note that the viewport will only be used if multiple viewports are exposed. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_GEOMETRY_OUTPUT_VERTICES``: The maximum number of vertices output by a single invocation of a geometry shader. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_GEOMETRY_TOTAL_OUTPUT_COMPONENTS``: The maximum number of vertex components output by a single invocation of a geometry shader. This is the product of the number of attribute components per vertex and the number of output vertices. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_GATHER_COMPONENTS``: Max number of components in format that texture gather can operate on. 1 == RED, ALPHA etc, 4 == All formats. * ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_GATHER_SM5``: Whether the texture gather hardware implements the SM5 features, component selection, shadow comparison, and run-time offsets. * ``PIPE_CAP_BUFFER_MAP_PERSISTENT_COHERENT``: Whether PIPE_TRANSFER_PERSISTENT and PIPE_TRANSFER_COHERENT are supported for buffers. * ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_QUERY_LOD``: Whether the ``LODQ`` instruction is supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_MIN_TEXTURE_GATHER_OFFSET``: The minimum offset that can be used in conjunction with a texture gather opcode. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_GATHER_OFFSET``: The maximum offset that can be used in conjunction with a texture gather opcode. * ``PIPE_CAP_SAMPLE_SHADING``: Whether there is support for per-sample shading. The context->set_min_samples function will be expected to be implemented. * ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_GATHER_OFFSETS``: Whether the ``TG4`` instruction can accept 4 offsets. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_VS_WINDOW_SPACE_POSITION``: Whether TGSI_PROPERTY_VS_WINDOW_SPACE_POSITION is supported, which disables clipping and viewport transformation. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_VERTEX_STREAMS``: The maximum number of vertex streams supported by the geometry shader. If stream-out is supported, this should be at least 1. If stream-out is not supported, this should be 0. * ``PIPE_CAP_DRAW_INDIRECT``: Whether the driver supports taking draw arguments { count, instance_count, start, index_bias } from a PIPE_BUFFER resource. See pipe_draw_info. * ``PIPE_CAP_MULTI_DRAW_INDIRECT``: Whether the driver supports pipe_draw_info::indirect_stride and ::indirect_count * ``PIPE_CAP_MULTI_DRAW_INDIRECT_PARAMS``: Whether the driver supports taking the number of indirect draws from a separate parameter buffer, see pipe_draw_indirect_info::indirect_draw_count. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_FS_FINE_DERIVATIVE``: Whether the fragment shader supports the FINE versions of DDX/DDY. * ``PIPE_CAP_VENDOR_ID``: The vendor ID of the underlying hardware. If it's not available one should return 0xFFFFFFFF. * ``PIPE_CAP_DEVICE_ID``: The device ID (PCI ID) of the underlying hardware. 0xFFFFFFFF if not available. * ``PIPE_CAP_ACCELERATED``: Whether the renderer is hardware accelerated. * ``PIPE_CAP_VIDEO_MEMORY``: The amount of video memory in megabytes. * ``PIPE_CAP_UMA``: If the device has a unified memory architecture or on-card memory and GART. * ``PIPE_CAP_CONDITIONAL_RENDER_INVERTED``: Whether the driver supports inverted condition for conditional rendering. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIB_STRIDE``: The maximum supported vertex stride. * ``PIPE_CAP_SAMPLER_VIEW_TARGET``: Whether the sampler view's target can be different than the underlying resource's, as permitted by ARB_texture_view. For example a 2d array texture may be reinterpreted as a cube (array) texture and vice-versa. * ``PIPE_CAP_CLIP_HALFZ``: Whether the driver supports the pipe_rasterizer_state::clip_halfz being set to true. This is required for enabling ARB_clip_control. * ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEXID_NOBASE``: If true, the driver only supports TGSI_SEMANTIC_VERTEXID_NOBASE (and not TGSI_SEMANTIC_VERTEXID). This means state trackers for APIs whose vertexIDs are offset by basevertex (such as GL) will need to lower TGSI_SEMANTIC_VERTEXID to TGSI_SEMANTIC_VERTEXID_NOBASE and TGSI_SEMANTIC_BASEVERTEX, so drivers setting this must handle both these semantics. Only relevant if geometry shaders are supported. (BASEVERTEX could be exposed separately too via ``PIPE_CAP_DRAW_PARAMETERS``). * ``PIPE_CAP_POLYGON_OFFSET_CLAMP``: If true, the driver implements support for ``pipe_rasterizer_state::offset_clamp``. * ``PIPE_CAP_MULTISAMPLE_Z_RESOLVE``: Whether the driver supports blitting a multisampled depth buffer into a single-sampled texture (or depth buffer). Only the first sampled should be copied. * ``PIPE_CAP_RESOURCE_FROM_USER_MEMORY``: Whether the driver can create a pipe_resource where an already-existing piece of (malloc'd) user memory is used as its backing storage. In other words, whether the driver can map existing user memory into the device address space for direct device access. The create function is pipe_screen::resource_from_user_memory.

This is only used by GL3-level sample shading (ARB_sample_shading). GL4-level sample shading (ARB_gpu_shader5) doesn't use this. While GL3 hardware has a state for it, GL4 hardware will likely need to emulate it with a shader variant, or by selecting the interpolation weights with a conditional assignment in the shader. * ``PIPE_CAP_SHAREABLE_SHADERS``: Whether shader CSOs can be used by any pipe_context. * ``PIPE_CAP_COPY_BETWEEN_COMPRESSED_AND_PLAIN_FORMATS``: Whether copying between compressed and plain formats is supported where a compressed block is copied to/from a plain pixel of the same size. * ``PIPE_CAP_CLEAR_TEXTURE``: Whether `clear_texture` will be available in contexts. * ``PIPE_CAP_DRAW_PARAMETERS``: Whether ``TGSI_SEMANTIC_BASEVERTEX``, ``TGSI_SEMANTIC_BASEINSTANCE``, and ``TGSI_SEMANTIC_DRAWID`` are supported in vertex shaders. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_PACK_HALF_FLOAT``: Whether the ``UP2H`` and ``PK2H`` TGSI opcodes are supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_FS_POSITION_IS_SYSVAL``: If state trackers should use a system value for the POSITION fragment shader input. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_FS_FACE_IS_INTEGER_SYSVAL``: If state trackers should use a system value for the FACE fragment shader input. Also, the FACE system value is integer, not float. * ``PIPE_CAP_SHADER_BUFFER_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT``: Describes the required alignment for pipe_shader_buffer::buffer_offset, in bytes. Maximum value allowed is 256 (for GL conformance). 0 is only allowed if shader buffers are not supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_INVALIDATE_BUFFER``: Whether the use of ``invalidate_resource`` for buffers is supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_GENERATE_MIPMAP``: Indicates whether pipe_context::generate_mipmap is supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_STRING_MARKER``: Whether pipe->emit_string_marker() is supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_SURFACE_REINTERPRET_BLOCKS``: Indicates whether pipe_context::create_surface supports reinterpreting a texture as a surface of a format with different block width/height (but same block size in bits). For example, a compressed texture image can be interpreted as a non-compressed surface whose texels are the same number of bits as the compressed blocks, and vice versa. The width and height of the surface is adjusted appropriately. * ``PIPE_CAP_QUERY_BUFFER_OBJECT``: Driver supports context::get_query_result_resource callback. * ``PIPE_CAP_PCI_GROUP``: Return the PCI segment group number. * ``PIPE_CAP_PCI_BUS``: Return the PCI bus number. * ``PIPE_CAP_PCI_DEVICE``: Return the PCI device number. * ``PIPE_CAP_PCI_FUNCTION``: Return the PCI function number. * ``PIPE_CAP_FRAMEBUFFER_NO_ATTACHMENT``: If non-zero, rendering to framebuffers with no surface attachments is supported. The context->is_format_supported function will be expected to be implemented with PIPE_FORMAT_NONE yeilding the MSAA modes the hardware supports. N.B., The maximum number of layers supported for rasterizing a primitive on a layer is obtained from ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_ARRAY_LAYERS`` even though it can be larger than the number of layers supported by either rendering or textures. * ``PIPE_CAP_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS_BEHAVIOR``: Implementation uses bounds checking on resource accesses by shader if the context is created with PIPE_CONTEXT_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS. See the ARB_robust_buffer_access_behavior extension for information on the required behavior for out of bounds accesses and accesses to unbound resources. * ``PIPE_CAP_CULL_DISTANCE``: Whether the driver supports the arb_cull_distance extension and thus implements proper support for culling planes. * ``PIPE_CAP_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_FOR_PATCHES``: Whether primitive restart is supported for patch primitives. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_VOTE``: Whether the ``VOTE_*`` ops can be used in shaders. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_WINDOW_RECTANGLES``: The maxium number of window rectangles supported in ``set_window_rectangles``. * ``PIPE_CAP_POLYGON_OFFSET_UNITS_UNSCALED``: If true, the driver implements support for ``pipe_rasterizer_state::offset_units_unscaled``. * ``PIPE_CAP_VIEWPORT_SUBPIXEL_BITS``: Number of bits of subpixel precision for floating point viewport bounds. * ``PIPE_CAP_MIXED_COLOR_DEPTH_BITS``: Whether there is non-fallback support for color/depth format combinations that use a different number of bits. For the purpose of this cap, Z24 is treated as 32-bit. If set to off, that means that a B5G6R5 + Z24 or RGBA8 + Z16 combination will require a driver fallback, and should not be advertised in the GLX/EGL config list. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_ARRAY_COMPONENTS``: If true, the driver interprets the UsageMask of input and output declarations and allows declaring arrays in overlapping ranges. The components must be a contiguous range, e.g. a UsageMask of xy or yzw is allowed, but xz or yw isn't.

Note that for a driver that does not support multiple output streams (i.e., ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_VERTEX_STREAMS`` is 1), both query types are identical. * ``PIPE_CAP_MEMOBJ``: Whether operations on memory objects are supported. * ``PIPE_CAP_LOAD_CONSTBUF``: True if the driver supports TGSI_OPCODE_LOAD use with constant buffers. * ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_ANY_REG_AS_ADDRESS``: Any TGSI register can be used as an address for indirect register indexing. * ``PIPE_CAP_TILE_RASTER_ORDER``: Whether the driver supports GL_MESA_tile_raster_order, using the tile_raster_order_* fields in pipe_rasterizer_state. * ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_COMBINED_SHADER_OUTPUT_RESOURCES``: Limit on combined shader output resources (images + buffers + fragment outputs). If 0 the state tracker works it out. * ``PIPE_CAP_SIGNED_VERTEX_BUFFER_OFFSET``: Whether pipe_vertex_buffer::buffer_offset is treated as signed. The u_vbuf module needs this for optimal performance in workstation applications. * ``PIPE_CAP_CONTEXT_PRIORITY_MASK``: For drivers that support per-context priorities, this returns a bitmask of PIPE_CONTEXT_PRIORITY_x for the supported priority levels. A driver that does not support prioritized contexts can return 0. * ``PIPE_CAP_FENCE_SIGNAL``: True if the driver supports signaling semaphores using fence_server_signal(). .. _pipe_capf: PIPE_CAPF_* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The floating-point capabilities are: * ``PIPE_CAPF_MAX_LINE_WIDTH``: The maximum width of a regular line. * ``PIPE_CAPF_MAX_LINE_WIDTH_AA``: The maximum width of a smoothed line. * ``PIPE_CAPF_MAX_POINT_WIDTH``: The maximum width and height of a point. * ``PIPE_CAPF_MAX_POINT_WIDTH_AA``: The maximum width and height of a smoothed point. * ``PIPE_CAPF_MAX_TEXTURE_ANISOTROPY``: The maximum level of anisotropy that can be applied to anisotropically filtered textures. * ``PIPE_CAPF_MAX_TEXTURE_LOD_BIAS``: The maximum :term:`LOD` bias that may be applied to filtered textures. .. _pipe_shader_cap: PIPE_SHADER_CAP_* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These are per-shader-stage capabitity queries.

This might reduce code size and register pressure if the underlying driver has a real backend compiler. * ``PIPE_SHADER_CAP_MAX_HW_ATOMIC_COUNTERS``: If atomic counters are separate, how many HW counters are available for this stage.

This is similar to PIPE_COMPUTE_CAP_MAX_THREADS_PER_BLOCK, except that the variable size is not known a compile-time but at dispatch-time. .. _pipe_bind: PIPE_BIND_* ^^^^^^^^^^^ These flags indicate how a resource will be used and are specified at resource creation time. Resources may be used in different roles during their lifecycle. Bind flags are cumulative and may be combined to create a resource which can be used for multiple things. Depending on the pipe driver's memory management and these bind flags, resources might be created and handled quite differently. * ``PIPE_BIND_RENDER_TARGET``: A color buffer or pixel buffer which will be rendered to. Any surface/resource attached to pipe_framebuffer_state::cbufs must have this flag set. * ``PIPE_BIND_DEPTH_STENCIL``: A depth (Z) buffer and/or stencil buffer. Any depth/stencil surface/resource attached to pipe_framebuffer_state::zsbuf must have this flag set. * ``PIPE_BIND_BLENDABLE``: Used in conjunction with PIPE_BIND_RENDER_TARGET to query whether a device supports blending for a given format. If this flag is set, surface creation may fail if blending is not supported for the specified format. If it is not set, a driver may choose to ignore blending on surfaces with formats that would require emulation. * ``PIPE_BIND_DISPLAY_TARGET``: A surface that can be presented to screen. Arguments to pipe_screen::flush_front_buffer must have this flag set. * ``PIPE_BIND_SAMPLER_VIEW``: A texture that may be sampled from in a fragment or vertex shader. * ``PIPE_BIND_VERTEX_BUFFER``: A vertex buffer. * ``PIPE_BIND_INDEX_BUFFER``: An vertex index/element buffer. * ``PIPE_BIND_CONSTANT_BUFFER``: A buffer of shader constants. * ``PIPE_BIND_STREAM_OUTPUT``: A stream output buffer. * ``PIPE_BIND_CUSTOM``: * ``PIPE_BIND_SCANOUT``: A front color buffer or scanout buffer. * ``PIPE_BIND_SHARED``: A sharable buffer that can be given to another process. * ``PIPE_BIND_GLOBAL``: A buffer that can be mapped into the global address space of a compute program. * ``PIPE_BIND_SHADER_BUFFER``: A buffer without a format that can be bound to a shader and can be used with load, store, and atomic instructions. * ``PIPE_BIND_SHADER_IMAGE``: A buffer or texture with a format that can be bound to a shader and can be used with load, store, and atomic instructions. * ``PIPE_BIND_COMPUTE_RESOURCE``: A buffer or texture that can be bound to the compute program as a shader resource. * ``PIPE_BIND_COMMAND_ARGS_BUFFER``: A buffer that may be sourced by the GPU command processor. It can contain, for example, the arguments to indirect draw calls. .. _pipe_usage: PIPE_USAGE_* ^^^^^^^^^^^^ The PIPE_USAGE enums are hints about the expected usage pattern of a resource. Note that drivers must always support read and write CPU access at any time no matter which hint they got. * ``PIPE_USAGE_DEFAULT``: Optimized for fast GPU access. * ``PIPE_USAGE_IMMUTABLE``: Optimized for fast GPU access and the resource is not expected to be mapped or changed (even by the GPU) after the first upload. * ``PIPE_USAGE_DYNAMIC``: Expect frequent write-only CPU access. What is uploaded is expected to be used at least several times by the GPU. * ``PIPE_USAGE_STREAM``: Expect frequent write-only CPU access. What is uploaded is expected to be used only once by the GPU. * ``PIPE_USAGE_STAGING``: Optimized for fast CPU access. Methods ------- XXX to-do get_name ^^^^^^^^ Returns an identifying name for the screen. The returned string should remain valid and immutable for the lifetime of pipe_screen. get_vendor ^^^^^^^^^^ Returns the screen vendor. The returned string should remain valid and immutable for the lifetime of pipe_screen. get_device_vendor ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Returns the actual vendor of the device driving the screen (as opposed to the driver vendor). The returned string should remain valid and immutable for the lifetime of pipe_screen. .. _get_param: get_param ^^^^^^^^^ Get an integer/boolean screen parameter. **param** is one of the :ref:`PIPE_CAP` names. .. _get_paramf: get_paramf ^^^^^^^^^^ Get a floating-point screen parameter. **param** is one of the :ref:`PIPE_CAPF` names. context_create ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Create a pipe_context. **priv** is private data of the caller, which may be put to various unspecified uses, typically to do with implementing swapbuffers and/or front-buffer rendering. is_format_supported ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Determine if a resource in the given format can be used in a specific manner. **format** the resource format **target** one of the PIPE_TEXTURE_x flags **sample_count** the number of samples. 0 and 1 mean no multisampling, the maximum allowed legal value is 32. **bindings** is a bitmask of :ref:`PIPE_BIND` flags. Returns TRUE if all usages can be satisfied. can_create_resource ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Check if a resource can actually be created (but don't actually allocate any memory). This is used to implement OpenGL's proxy textures. Typically, a driver will simply check if the total size of the given resource is less than some limit. For PIPE_TEXTURE_CUBE, the pipe_resource::array_size field should be 6. .. _resource_create: resource_create ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Create a new resource from a template. The following fields of the pipe_resource must be specified in the template: **target** one of the pipe_texture_target enums. Note that PIPE_BUFFER and PIPE_TEXTURE_X are not really fundamentally different. Modern APIs allow using buffers as shader resources. **format** one of the pipe_format enums. **width0** the width of the base mip level of the texture or size of the buffer. **height0** the height of the base mip level of the texture (1 for 1D or 1D array textures). **depth0** the depth of the base mip level of the texture (1 for everything else). **array_size** the array size for 1D and 2D array textures. For cube maps this must be 6, for other textures 1. **last_level** the last mip map level present. **nr_samples** the nr of msaa samples. 0 (or 1) specifies a resource which isn't multisampled. **usage** one of the :ref:`PIPE_USAGE` flags. **bind** bitmask of the :ref:`PIPE_BIND` flags. **flags** bitmask of PIPE_RESOURCE_FLAG flags. resource_changed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mark a resource as changed so derived internal resources will be recreated on next use. When importing external images that can't be directly used as texture sampler source, internal copies may have to be created that the hardware can sample from. When those resources are reimported, the image data may have changed, and the previously derived internal resources must be invalidated to avoid sampling from old copies. resource_destroy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Destroy a resource. A resource is destroyed if it has no more references. get_timestamp ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Query a timestamp in nanoseconds. The returned value should match PIPE_QUERY_TIMESTAMP. This function returns immediately and doesn't wait for rendering to complete (which cannot be achieved with queries). get_driver_query_info ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Return a driver-specific query. If the **info** parameter is NULL, the number of available queries is returned. Otherwise, the driver query at the specified **index** is returned in **info**. The function returns non-zero on success. The driver-specific query is described with the pipe_driver_query_info structure. get_driver_query_group_info ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Return a driver-specific query group. If the **info** parameter is NULL, the number of available groups is returned. Otherwise, the driver query group at the specified **index** is returned in **info**. The function returns non-zero on success. The driver-specific query group is described with the pipe_driver_query_group_info structure. get_disk_shader_cache ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Returns a pointer to a driver-specific on-disk shader cache. If the driver failed to create the cache or does not support an on-disk shader cache NULL is returned. The callback itself may also be NULL if the driver doesn't support an on-disk shader cache. Thread safety ------------- Screen methods are required to be thread safe. While gallium rendering contexts are not required to be thread safe, it is required to be safe to use different contexts created with the same screen in different threads without locks. It is also required to be safe using screen methods in a thread, while using one of its contexts in another (without locks).
